This Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities is being filed by (i) Sentient Global Resources Fund III, L.P.

Explanation of Responses to Form 4:

Under a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 2009 (the “Purchase Agreement”) Fund III and Parallel I received the right to purchase shares of the Issuer. On January 7, 2010 Fund III purchased 768,144 shares from the Issuer. On March 24, 2010, the Reporting Person purchased an additional 823,043 shares from the Issuer. The Purchase Agreement also gave the Reporting Person an option to purchase up to 135,211 additional shares if the Issuer sells the underwriters 600,000 shares to cover over-allotments (fewer shares may be purchased to the extent that the underwriters purchaser fewer than 600,000 shares).
